As the MCU continues to expand its list of iconic characters, Harrison Ford’s portrayal of Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross aka Red Hulk in the upcomingCaptain America: Brave New World, promises to be a game-changer. Considering fans’ demands surrounding the character of Hulk, Ford’s new role could offer unprecedented opportunities in the MCU.
Since fans have been awaiting Mark Ruffalo’s Green Hulk to smash things in the MCU and showcase his ultimate power, it seems a face-off between his character and Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk could be the ultimatum. Although according to comics, Red Hulk could literally chew and spit out Green Hulk, based on how he had destroyed Thor, there seems to be greater storylines awaiting fans.
Harrison Ford is Set to Unleash His Infamous Red Hulk on the Big Screen
Legendary actor Harrison Ford, popularly known for his roles inStar WarsandIndiana Jonesfranchises, brings an unprecedented level of gravitas to the MCU with his role as Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross, aka Red Hulk. Taking over the mantle fromWilliam Hurt, who had previously played the role since 2008, Ford marked significant casting changes in the upcomingCaptain America: Brave New World.

Although playing a character who holds the monumental responsibility of being the US President seems quite likeHarrison Ford, his appearance as theformidable Red Hulk marked a significant shiftin his legacy. Portraying a transformation into the ginormous Red Hulk, a character that requires extensive use of motion capture technology, Ford embraced the peculiarities of his job which was quite different from what he had experienced in his past films.
Meanwhile, with fans eager to see Harrison Ford’s portrayal of theinfamous Red Hulk unfoldon the big screen, there seems greater opportunities awaiting him in the expansive Marvel Universe. Considering thatCaptain America: Brave New Worldis set to mark Ford’s beginning in the MCU, fans might get to see him engage in epic battles later in the universe, given that the comic character historically possesses unprecedented powers and potential.
Fans Can Hope for an Ultimatum Between Red Hulk and Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk
We believe fans should focus their undivided attention on Harrison Ford’s Red Hulk, given that the character’s potential to overshadow other superheroes is already evident in the comics. According to snippets of Marvel Comics dealing with Red Hulk, brought to people’s attention by @legendary.genesis, Red Hulk even possesses a formidable edge over Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner aka Green Hulk, in his base form.

In the comics, Thaddeus Ross’ obsession with the Hulk leads him to undergo a series of experimental procedures to transform into the Red Hulk. Therefore, unlike the Green Hulk, whose strength increases with his rage, the Red Hulk possesses a unique set of abilities. His superpowers spanning from exceptional strength and resistance to physical damage, to his ability to absorb and manipulate energy, followed by his power to emit intense heat and radiation from his body, make him a promising character.
Meanwhile, the MCU has long hinted at the Hulk’s potential for destruction, but many fans feel that theGreen Hulk’s capabilities have yetto be fully showcased. The Red Hulk’s introduction therefore opens up exciting possibilities for high-stakes confrontations. So it seems that fans would simply lose their minds to witness a potential fight betweenMark Ruffalo‘s Hulk and Ford’s Red Hulk. Although Red Hulk would undoubtedlybeat Green Hulk into a pulp(ifcomic accuracyis maintained), it would truly be an epic showdown.

Further, Marvel Comics took things to a different level when they demonstrated Red Hulk’s raw powers and combat prowess in some of the most intense battles, like his confrontation with Thor. In a display of sheer power, Red Hulk managed to destroy the God of Thunder in a battle showcasing his incredible strength. Therefore,Red Hulk’s vast array of powersand the potential for intense confrontations only raise the stakes for Harrison Ford in the MCU, if the studio continues to include Ford’s character in future storylines.
Captain America: Brave New Worldwill premiere in theaters on July 21, 2025.
